Japan had a variety of different series going at the same time. Sentai, Metal Heroes, Kamen Rider, Ultraman.

B-Fighter was among them, and Saban adapted it into Beetleborgs.

They were memorable enough to be recycled into one-and-done Power Rangers villains.

I always thought it was lame that the Power Rangers has this giant blue holographic head as their mentor and all the Troopers got was a guy on a computer screen.

The 90s had some real turd adaptations like Syber Squad and Masked Rider.

And then there's this abomination:

Syber Squad had a good premise, but aside from Tim Curry the acting was pretty bad. Tried too hard to be like Saved by the Bell. I still enjoyed it though. VR Troopers had it's moments, but had pretty bad acting as well, if not worse.

The sensei was going to be the original mentor. Kind of wish they had stuck with that.

i remember beetleborgs. I was into it kinda. I remember buying one of the toys.

There was a movie I'm trying to remember too. It was like mid 90s I think, towards the end of the TMNT/Power Rangers rip offs fad.

It was a TMNT type movie. Feature like goat warriors or something. Some sort of martial arts trained talking goats. The movie was also darker and a bit bloodier than Ninja Turtles. It was also terrible. Does anyone remember this movie?

BBB was one of those shows I remember enjoying as a kid alongside MMPR. The difference is, I can watch MMPR with the younger generation and it feels about the same as when I was a kid. BBB just seems really bad and awful, like the acting is bad in MMPR but holy fucking shit it is so bad in BBB. It's comparing the bad VA in Resident Evil with the bad VA in Gotcha Force, in a way.

For some reason, I had BBB and VR Troopers merged in my head until recently. Like, I vaguely remembered bits of their theme songs, but for some reason I was thinking they were the same thing.

Jay Leno once brought up the fact that he looked like Flabber on the Tonight Show.

He had a bit where people sent pictures of things that looked like him and someone sent a picture of Flabber and Jay Leno just rolled his eyes and said he couldn't see it.

The last episode has no final resolution. At the end Les finally had enough of being pushed around and claimed he was purposely returning to prison. Nukus and his goons have no way of making monsters without him so who knows what became of them.

I'm not sure if they ran out of footage or just didn't know where to take the show's direction so they stopped. The final monster Repgillian, it's B-Fighter Kabuto counterpart appears to have a bigger role, but here it had a poor anti-climactic demise.

Fun fact: At one point, Beetleborgs was more popular than Power Rangers. The only reason the show didn't continue is because they ran out of B-Fighter footage to use, which was the original Japanese version.

VR Troopers had it's fair share of cheese. Both shows were good for their time, but many of the side characters were handled badly. The acting in Trooper's second season was atrocious.
